Past tense problems Last week we visit Swaziland, Lesotho and Natal in just four days. Is the sentence constructed correctly with the word "visit"? (since it refers to the past) OR Should it be "visited"? OR "have visited"?

Visiting Rome Rome, capital of Italy. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I spent a week there. We rented an apartment on the outskirts. Walk through the Roman Forum and the Coliseum at sunset was something I will never forget. The underground was our means of transportation to visit the most important monuments, basilicas, museums and palaces. Last week we visit Pisa, Lucca, Siena, Florence in just four days. Too many places, too many hours on the train. It took me several days to feel good. I am a little tired of so much art. My next trip I hope to be in a good hotel with spa. Go for a run and just enjoy the nature.

Fishing I already told you that I always go to Cullera on holiday. This beautiful town has a small harbor full of all kinds of boats. It also has fishing boats. Even though the fishing industry has lost much importance it still exists. The place where the fish is sold has an special name that does not exist in English: "lonja" You can buy very fresh fish right there. The most common species that you can find are: sardine, red mullet, hake, swordfish and above everything seafood. I love seafood! like a prawns and molluscs (mussels) and occasionally even langouste This summer we bought one big and expensive langouste. When my husband put it into the casserole with boiling water, the langouste was still alive!!!. Nevertheless, it taste delicious.

Food around here FOOD Here you can get fruit, vegetables, meat and fresh fish at a very good price and close to home. For that reason, we have one of the best diets in the world, “The Mediterranean diet”. The most interesting dish that we cook is “paella” In the paella the main ingredient is rice, and it must be cooked with olive oil. We usually make it with chicken and rabbit if it is winter and with fish if it is summer. And for drink, the best thing is to uncork a bottle of wine from “Rioja” or “Rivera del Duero” It is a tradition to prepare a paella on Sundays, with family or friends. It is usually cooked by men while drinking beer and eating almonds, olives, peanuts or other similar things.

Which is more right? Hi, The bullfighters KILL a wild bull with a sword. The bullfighters KILLS a wild bull with a sword. Also I am not sure if "using a sword" is better thant "with a sword" Also There are many people who WANT to ban it. There are many people who WANTS to ban it. Please advice!?

animals ANIMALS My husband is a veterinarian. He started his career working with horses, cows, pigs even on a chicken farm.. He also worked a year in Valencia’s bullring. Have you ever heard of bullfighting?. Here it is called “corrida de toros” The bullfighters (torero or matador) kill a wild bull with a sword. I prefer the “rejoneo” ( to fight the bull on a horseback with the lance). But in the end the bull always dies. As you can see this is a pretty violent spectacle, so there are many people who want to ban it. If you ask me, on the one hand, I really like animals, on the other hand, I eat meat every day This is a complicated world.

statistics 82% of Spanish adults say they are followers of sports, 31 million followers in total. Football is the king of sports with 70% of supporters. (Did you know that Spain won its first world cup in South Africa ?. It was on 11th July 2010). 40% follow Formula 1 38% Basketball. 31% MotoGP 17% Athletics. Speaking of athletics, do you know who Oscar Pistorius is? What can you say about him ?.

Transportation In my town, I can go everywhere walking. I have no bike but I would like to have one. I only use my car if I go to the supermarket. The public transport in Spain is good enough, although it is not perfect, it has some contradictions. For example: you can go from Valencia to Madrid (391 km) by A.V.E. (high speed train) in 95 minutes. However if you want to go from Carlet to Valencia (30 km) by R.E.N.F.E. (national railway network ) it take you 48 minutes. 30 minutes if you drive. Fortunately I do not need to go too far from my house.

Superstition, In south africa there are the typical western 'superstitions', mostly harmless, for example 7 years bad luck when breaking an mirror. However in south africa many old primitive african traditions is still being followed. Even though it is not sensible. Just like in other parts of africa a tribe have traditional healers which is esentially a witch doctor. Unfortunatly brutality and inhumanity is associated with some of these healings. According to western civilation, these remedies is questionable, unproven, dangerous and involves a lot of superstition. Despite education improving these illogical ancient beliefs and superstitions continues. It is actually sad. Even our president sometimes makes stupid statements linked to superstitions. For example taking a cold shower to cure aids.
